It is heartening to hear, from the horse's mouth itself (our conservationists, the FKNK) that BirdLife (Malta)'s current campaign is aimed at abolishing "the traditional socio-cultural passion and way of life of Maltese trappers" (March 4).
BirdLife must be on the right track; some traditional socio-cultural passions we could do well without. And we would then stop putting all heaven in a rage by keeping songbirds in a cage.
